Eric Johnson's Latest Release to Get Vinyl Treatment
Eric Johnson's latest release, 'Up Close,' was a long time in the making (five and a half years). But as evidenced by its reception and its impressive list of special guests (Sonny Landreth, Steve Miller, Jimmie Vaughan and Jonny Lang), the wait was well worth it.
Fortunately, fans will not have to wait long at all for a vinyl version of 'Up Close,' which is slated for release on April 19th via EMI Records and Vortexan Music.
The album will be issued on 180 gram vinyl and housed in a special double LP gatefold package with printed sleeves. Additionally, Up Close was remastered specially for this vinyl release by Jim Wilson.

In 1924, the first gramophone to change records automatically went on sale in the US.
In 1957, the Everly Brothers release "Bye Bye Love", a song that was rejected by 30 labels before Cadence Records picked it up. The song went to #2 on the US Pop chart and #1 on the Country & Western chart.
In 1961, The Beatles began a three-month residency at The Top Ten Club, Hamburg, Germany, playing 92 straight nights. The group played for seven hours a night on weekdays and eight hours at weekends with a 15-minute break every hour. It was during this visit that Astrid Kirchherr cut Stuart Sutcliffe’s hair into the style destined to become known as the “Beatle haircut” which The Beatles later adopted themselves.
In 1966, The Troggs recorded (using 45 minutes of spare studio time) “Wild Thing” at Pye Studios in Marble Arch, London, produced by Larry Page, with Mick Jagger present as an observer. The song went on to be a #1 U.S. and #2 U.K. hit in June.
David Bowie's first solo single, "Do Anything You Say," was released in 1966.
